Framed Great Blue Heron This is for the Heron fans out there. Including me. I think the Great Blue Heron is arguably the coolest of the wading birds, not as elegant as the Egret, but still really cool. This is a very detailed sculpted tile of a great blue heron made of ceramic using a variety of glazes. Each tile is made totally by hand, created from a mold made from my original sculpture. Every tile is made one at a time using wet clay, trimmed, dried, fired, glazed and fired a second time. This tile comes in a quarter sawn white oak frame stained in traditional red (shown), golden oak or white washed solid oak. It makes a great gift and looks fantastic hanging in small spaces where other art won't fit . It also works well simply resting on an easel. Because each tile is individually made by hand the colors may vary slightly. We make every effort to insure the very best quality, you deserve no less. Although images are a close representation of the actual artwork, there will be minor differences. The frames will vary from the image as well due to variances of wood grain and stain. All my tiles are handmade in very small batches. The very nature of handcrafted ceramics guarantees that you are purchasing a unique work of art. All tiles and frames are made in the U.S. We are always making our tile designs and the inventory of (1) will usually reflect that we are working on that design. We will do all we can to get each tile shipped asap. Please Note: Not recommended for outdoor installation.
